Early Game 6 from the bar

In Response To: Early Game 6 from the bar (Stick)

I'd try bar/15 here. Bar/21 24/18 seems to give White too powerful an attack. She has a lot of double-hitting rolls and we no longer have an anchor, plus she has the stronger board.

The score might have some slight influence here since Bar/21 24/18 is so gammonish. That is, I lean away from 24/18 slightly more at 5a5a than for money. I'd be surprised, though, if the top play isn't the same in both cases (even if I'm wrong about what the top play is).

13/7 doesn't look like the right idea when we have 3 checkers back and only 4 checkers on the midpoint.
